Overview

What are Canadians writing about community? From rejection to acceptance, support to sacrifice; in this anthology, you'll find a mix of it all, fiction and non-fiction, stories and poems. What does community mean? Who is a part of our community? How do we cultivate community in our own lives? What if we are rejected from our community? Every world you set foot in falls, but there are rumours of one that remains, enduring. Will you take the final jump? A little child wanders an alien market; all she wants is to buy her mother a present, but what will she do if she has no money? New school, new life, new cat tree - what about new friends? How does humanity survive among the stars? What happens when the autonomous driver goes haywire and your only companion is a cosplay racoon? If you were given the power to destroy those that shunned you, could you ever be talked off that cliff? A bad day made worse by finding too-small panties left in the bedroom - but do they mean more than what they seem to? All you need to fund your own lab is a couple days of drilling and fifteen years of environmental disaster; so what if the inhabitants of the planet haven't signed the mining treaty yet? An entire castle schemes to put a frisky Duke and Duchess to an early bed so that everyone can finally get some much needed rest... and perhaps have a little fun of their own. The stories and poems in this anthology explore the theme of community, taking readers from ripped-apart worlds to garden planets populated by geriatrics; exploring the cosmos for a homework assignment, then coming home to have a cold drink at a lively local bar. In this anthology, you'll have the chance to read over 40 never-before-published stories, poems, and essays from 30 Canadian authors.
